Free materials for CS AP from IMACS
In addition to this review course, our institute, IMACS, has developed an online AP Computer Science A/AB course including a thorough treatment of GridWorld. For this summer, the full course including GridWorld is freely available to all high school computer science teachers. We would appreciate if you would mention this offer to your workshop participants and let them know that to obtain a username/password, they should call IMACS toll-free at 866.634.6227, or contact me by email at tkaufman@imacs.org. You might want to note that the IMACS AP Computer Science A and AB courses have successfully completed the audit process. For more information on this course visit http://apjava.imacs.org .
